The Shanghai World Expo Museum has launched the 2023 summer social practice activities for high school students for nearly a month. As of today, the total number of high school students participating in the activities is about 483 person-times, and the cumulative total participation time is about 2036 hours. The social practice activities included nearly 600 students from 8 high schools, including Shanghai Gezhi High School, Shanghai Datong High School, No.2 High School of East China Normal University, Dajing High School Affiliated to SISU, Zhoupu Senior High School Attached to East China Normal University, Shanghai No.3 Girls' High School, Shanghai Jincai High School and Shanghai Hongkou Senior High School, who signed up to participate in various forms of social practice activities at the World Expo Museum.
This activity is a social practice activity platform provided by the World Expo Museum to enrich the summer life of young people and promote the growth of students' talents in the process of combining theory and practice.
At the beginning of the summer vacation in July, in order to ensure the smooth implementation of social practice activities, the World Expo Museum provided in-house training for students participating in the activities. The training mainly revolves around three parts: "venue guidance", "volunteer explanation" and " publicity and education service". Under the guidance of the teachers and volunteers of the World Expo Museum, the students walked into the museum, integrated into the museum and served the museum. They not only learn a wealth of knowledge, but also gain the ability and confidence to deal with complex situations through training.
Wearing "Little Cabbage" volunteer uniforms, they are not only active participants in the event, but also loyal disseminators of social and cultural heritage. With their young wisdom and enthusiasm, they have injected vitality and vitality into every part of the World Expo Museum.
Some of them are responsible for the guidance of the venues, answering questions for tourists who come to visit; some serve as volunteers to explain the development history of the World Expo to the audience vividly; some are trying to be Expo editors, assisting in the compilation of new media for museum propaganda activities and so on. Through diversified activities such as interacting with exhibits, participating in explanations and new media editing, students can improve their communication and expression skills and cultivate problem-solving skills.
Students integrated their summer life into various activities of the museum, contributing more to the community and adding a touch of color to the dreamy youth.
As a source of knowledge, the museum showcase precious exhibits from various fields such as history, art and science, which provides a valuable platform for students to gain an in-depth understanding of knowledge in various fields and broaden their horizons.
In recent years, the World Expo Museum has continuously innovated the form of students’ social practice activities and enriched the content of the activities and enabled students to better integrate into the cultural palace of the museum. They can experience and learn rich and diverse knowledge firsthand, laying a solid foundation for their personal growth and future development.
